Martin Lewis warned people 'not to panic' as customers rushed to submit meter readings before Friday's price jump.
Households are submitting meter readings for gas and electricity to their supplier today to show exactly how much energy they have used ahead of Ofgem's price cap increasing from April 1. This will prevent firms from estimating usage and potentially charging for energy used before April 1 at a higher rate.
Households will see the biggest rise in the cost of energy in living memory from Friday when bills increase by 54%, or almost £700, to just under £2,000 a year. However, Martin has urged people not to worry if they aren't able to get a meter reading today.
